you have seen it dozens of cities that lost plants. there are no big jobs or other sectors that can replace those types of well-paying jobs. new uaw workers are making a run $15 an hour, a little less than half of what the old workers made. auto jobs are changing, and they are not the same height-paying middle-class jobs they once were. the jobs did not have the same economic benefits they once did. they are still some of the best jobs that people can get in some communities. >> there were criticisms from the right that this was a bailout of the unions, not of their auto recovery. you are talking about taking lower wages. say something about how those decisions were made. >> let me first do the scorecard. we put $82 billion in these companies. treasury has an estimate of what the losses would be. treasury is being conservative. in my mind i think the taxpayers got $15 billion under water. if none of the benefits you guys are talking about existed, i would argue its saved a million jobs, and $15 million -- $15 billion is not a lot of mo

should the state bailout the city's but if not, what tools should the state provide to assist the cities to fund retirement? >> that is one of the reasons this was started because cities had trouble and needed more local decision making. that is something we need to push through. get more control at the city and county level for their pensions and let them raise revenues how they see fit to manage their obligations. that is not a thing the governor and his golden dome really should have a whole lot of control over. we need to let them have more control over their pension and give them the tools they need. >> governor? >> i am very pleased with what we have been able to do with their state liabilities with our retirement system. we put ourselves -- we continue to do exactly what that has advised us to do. we have worked with municipal mayors to determine how we will fix this. we have passed legislation that gives the cities and municipalities some flexibility in the ways they go about addressing their own funded liabilities. we will continue to work with them. >> many west virginia counti

instability in their country and what ordinaire yemenis are thinking in the streets especially in a big city. the yemeni leadership is very concerned about the security threat. people in yemen are very concerned about some other country coming in and meddling with their affairs. there's a disconnect. the disconnect is growing and growing. i think there president gave you an assembly and in washington at the woodrow wilson center a very clear if factual assessment of what drones can do and how they are helping his government take care of some of the security problems. one of the things i don't think he has acknowledged is the degree to which that kind of intervention and the way that intervention is seen in any society generally is undermining the legitimacy of this transitional government with ordinary people on the street. >> it sounds like quite difficult research. multiple wars going on in yemen right now. how did you deal with your personal security? >> i relied on locals to provide my security. when i was in the north i had a very good interpreter who had an extended network of people a

[applause] i've long appreciated from my own experience new york's role as the center of gravity for our nation's economy. this is where it's at. and for that reason, it's an honor to be able to speak before this kind of distinguished audience of business leaders and innovators, because you understand what a strong national defense is all about. and you understand that a strong national defense and a strong economy go hand in hand. with that in mind, tonight i'd like to discuss with you an issue that i think is at the very

do so was walter mondale and it was not until the 1970's that the vice president even stayed in the city. there were no major airways in, roadways in, and they finally found coolidge, and there was no justice of the peace around. his father was basically a notary, and he took the oath with his father with his hand on the family bible in the living room. the role of the vice president has changed considerably, and i would give credit to both romney and obama for picking a vice presidential nominee that not only could help them get elected but could help them govern. i think these are both, to a degree, responsible selections in that respect. i think no matter who wins, we will see either ryan for biden -- or biden play a significant role over the next four years. >> we are previewing the upcoming debate in danville, kentucky, and throwing in some vice-presidential trivia all along the way. let me share with you one of the mamas from 2010 during the height of the health-care debate, a meeting that took place at blair house across the street from the white house, and comments by then congre
